Kelly the Dog Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Excellent documentary on the controversial director on HBO. I never knew the full, real history of his court case, and fleeing the country. Man, what a mess. Talk about a guy who was guilty AND railroaded at the same time. Very well done, and interesting as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 and he was lucky enough to not be home when the Manson clan visited. He is a slimy dude who has been quite lucky. What he did was much worse then what Lynch allegedly did. I guess he does not have a conscience. I am not familiar with how he got railroaded. What happened?

Yeah, his mothered gassed at Auschwitz, his father killed in a concentration camp, and when away working, his wife and unborn child brutally murdered. Lucky guy.

Lucky guy. well avoiding getting brutally stabbed to death or avoiding time in a federal prison for raping a 13 year old- yeah I think he has had some luck in his life. Hiding in France to avoid prosecution for a heinous crime is cowardly. Once again, I believe strongly that you must take personal responsibility for your actions and man up when you make a mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted June 10, 2008 Author Share Posted June 10, 2008 well avoiding getting brutally stabbed to death or avoiding time in a federal prison for raping a 13 year old- yeah I think he has had some luck in his life. Hiding in France to avoid prosecution for a heinous crime is cowardly. Once again, I believe strongly that you must take personal responsibility for your actions and man up when you make a mistake He didn't leave to avoid federal prison. If you knew the story, you may not feel as you do. He was, surely, guilty of having sex with a minor though, as I said. But this really opened my eyes about why he left and what preceded it. In fact, he did his time and they let him out. When the DA who prosecuted the case says he knows why he left, didn't think it was bad, and not only agrees he was screwed by the judge, but sided with Polanksi's attorney to stop the judge from lying in court and screwing up worse, you know it's !@#$ed up.

The Poojer Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 how do you get from polanski to lynch????? and he was lucky enough to not be home when the Manson clan visited. He is a slimy dude who has been quite lucky. What he did was much worse then what Lynch allegedly did. I guess he does not have a conscience. I am not familiar with how he got railroaded.

KD in CA Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 how do you get from polanski to lynch????? Hell, why stop there? After all, we know that Lynch will go down as one of the most notorious criminals in history -- especially if he gets away with it. Let's see who else we can compare him too.....for starters there's OJ ('natch). How about Richard Speck? Or Cylde Barrow? p.s. F--- Polanski. He's overrated anyway.

LOL Maybe we can now go so far to say: When you ride with Lynch you ride with Bin Laden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 LOL Maybe we can now go so far to say: When you ride with Lynch you ride with Bin Laden. Why not? you'll notice that just like Lynch, bin Laden also lacked the "morale courage" to turn himself in and face punishment for his actions. Apparently if he had it would have earned him a lot of respect and entitled him to a second chance with many of our esteemed posters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it was a leap on my part- but it was continuing a friendly debate with Kelly from another thread. My point is always take responsibility for your own actions and man up when you make a mistake.

Peter Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I started watching this last night and ended up staying up until 1:50 a.m. It was very well done. In short, when the prosecutor, the girl's lawyer, and RP's lawyer all agree that RP got the shaft (so to speak), I think it is fair to say that RP got the shaft. In fact, the prosecutor said at the end that he completely understood why RP left for France. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
